Asher Young fought to a pair of medals at the Saskatchewan Open judo tournament in Regina on the weekend.
Young earned gold in the under-16 minus 50 kilogram class, then stepped up a division to under-18 minus 50kg and picked up silver. Young was representing the Hart Judo Academy, and several of his clubmates also had successful weekends in Regina.
One of them was Brooke Corbett, who battled to gold in the under-21 minus 52kg class. As well, Koen Heitman (under-18 minus 66kg) and Andries VanZyl (under-16 minus 46kg) ended up as silver medalists. Bronze medals went to Maxwell Young (under-21 minus 60kg), Lochlan Young (under-18 minus 73kg) and Gabe Paterson (under-16 minus 60 kg).
The next tournaments for HJA athletes are the Quebec Open and Ontario Open.
